Of David to Jonathan, passing the love of
women" They had only to open their eyes
to witness his inidelitie, apparent to all
others, to the promises by which he had won
their young affections, yet they kept them
closed in mistaken faith in his professions of
continued attachment And now, when the
full sunlight has been let 10 upon his remorse-

the world, know that he was only toying with
them for his own selfish ends, their intatua-

For the first time in the history of Co
lumbia College, New York, woman has
completed the whole four years course in
the school of arts, and fairly earned the
degree of bachelor of letters. Her name is
Mary P. Hankey.
Senator German, of Maryland, is an old
base ball player, and in his time was good
one. He covered second base on the old
Nationals in 1867. Williams, who was
pitcher of the nine at that time, is now
cashier of the treasury.
Jas. Welsman Brown, lately deceased, of
Marietta, Ga, was the youngest Confed col
onel (22). He was among those who fired
the first gun of the war in preventing Fort
Sumter from being victualed by the Star Of
the Vest and commanded brigade at Ben
tonville, the last battle, and so was among
those who fired the last gun as we'll.
